Satellite positioning refers to the use of satellites to determine the precise location of an object on Earth. This technology relies on a network of satellites that transmit signals to a receiver, which calculates its position based on the time it takes for the signals to arrive. The most well-known system for satellite positioning is the Global Positioning System (GPS). GPS uses a constellation of at least 24 satellites orbiting the Earth, allowing users to obtain accurate location data anywhere on the planet. This technology is widely used in navigation, mapping, and various applications in everyday life.
